Chapter 123: Chapter 122: In Case That Kid Insists on Marrying You (Second Update, Vote Requested)

Fu Zhen watched Liang Zhi leave, and only after sitting for a while longer did she finally depart.

Having finally spoken the words long held in her heart, she felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted. There is ample time to seek revenge on Xu Yin, but preventing his schemes against the Liang Family requires immediate action.

As for what Liang Zhi would do next, she did not wish to intervene too much. Xu Yin had benefited from the Liang Family for many years, yet in the end, he still harbored murderous intentions towards her. This incident, while showcasing Xu the traitor’s wolfish and cruel nature, also exposed some of the Liang Family’s weaknesses in dealing with others.

If she and the Liang Family hadn’t been so benevolent and sincere towards Xu Yin, the result might have been very different.

With the situation in the northwest now settled, the state of the Great Zhou Dynasty is also stabilizing. From the accumulated experiences in various historical records, in the future, the civil servants who bear the responsibility of governing the nation will surely rise, while the status of the military generals in court will gradually diminish.

With the ever-changing world, including the Liang Family among the five major General Mansions full of honors, how to ensure that their families will continue to prosper peacefully for generations is something they must contemplate seriously, starting now.

Simply put, the Liang Family must first and foremost heighten their vigilance. The hearts in the court are treacherous; in addition to pondering how to exact revenge on Xu Yin, they must also consider how to avoid repeating past mistakes.

Therefore, having Liang Zhi manage this matter is most appropriate and necessary. All of them must start from here to learn how to face the invisible battles of the heart on the peaceful court.

Liang Ning’s death was also a harsh blow to the current Fu Zhen. She once mistakenly thought, under the protection of her family, that nothing was impossible. Now, having lost her family’s shelter, she needs to protect the existing family herself. In this regard, she is also starting anew.

By the time she returned to the mansion, the sky was already light.

As she stepped through the doorway, Mrs. Ning lifted her head from behind her desk, gathered her scattered gaze, and stood up.

"You’re finally back?"

"Mother..."

Fu Zhen stood stunned under the threshold, recalling that in this long day, she had somehow ignored that there was a mother still waiting for her daughter to return safely.

"It’s good that you’re back." Mrs. Ning’s voice was a bit hoarse from sitting almost the entire night, but she still managed a smile, approaching her: "Have you eaten? Are you hungry? I had them make bird’s nest porridge for you, keeping it warm all this time. Would you like a bowl now?"

Fu Zhen felt a tightness in her throat. She nodded, "I am quite hungry indeed. I’d like two bowls!"

"Alright!"

Mrs. Ning smiled as she caressed her hair, then waved a hand towards the maid at the door.

In an instant, bird’s nest porridge and several other dishes were brought up, all steaming and fragrant.

"Eat up. After you finish, go to bed early." Mrs. Ning personally set the dishes before her, "I’ve already obtained the letter of divorce from the Du Family. Someone from the Du Family has also been here, and I will handle the rest. Tomorrow, I’ll go check out the site for our new shop. You don’t need to go anywhere."

Fu Zhen looked at her, "Mother... aren’t you going to ask where I went?"

Mrs. Ning’s gaze was profound, "No need to ask. I only care whether you’re safe; nothing else is important."

Fu Zhen’s eyes were moist, and she quickly dipped her head to take a big sip of the porridge.

How did she deserve this? Before, she had such a wonderful family in the Liang Family, and now, she has such a wonderful family in the Ning Family...

...

When Liang Zhi returned to the mansion, Liang Chen was still awake.

Liang Zhi asked, "Elder Brother, were you waiting for me?"

Liang Chen nodded, "How did you get along with that Miss Fu?"

The question stirred up overwhelming emotions in Liang Zhi. Thinking of how Fu Zhen previously mentioned that Pei Zhan had spoken in Liang Chen’s ear, he sat down and asked, "I heard Elder Brother has already met Miss Fu. How do you feel about her?"

Liang Chen picked up his cup, glancing sideways at him, "My feeling is she’s the Fu Family’s young lady. Beyond that, what else do you hope for my perception of her?

"Do you think I’d be like you, getting all flustered just from a few words exchanged at the first meeting?"

Liang Zhi was at a loss, "What are you thinking? She is my—"

Halfway through, he suddenly remembered Fu Zhen’s advice not to rush and sealed his lips.

"Who is she to you?" Liang Chen’s gaze turned sharper, even adding a couple of snorts, "Let me remind you, in the Liang Family, we don’t condone private engagements without matchmakers. What did you do with her tonight? Where did you go? Speak the truth!"

Liang Zhi was speechless, "What private engagements could I have with her? We just went to Baihe Temple!"

"In the middle of the night, what were you doing at Baihe Temple? Wasn’t she supposed to be meeting guests at Canglang Pavilion?"

"There was supposed to be a meeting, but then something unexpected happened... Anyway, we just went to the temple to pray and worship!"

Liang Chen snorted a few more times, "You’d better be telling the truth. I’ll have evidence in an hour to verify whether you went to Baihe Temple! If you’re lying, you’ll face family punishment!"

"Then go ahead and ask!" Liang Zhi waved his sleeve and stood up, "If you find out we weren’t there, not just family rules, military laws will do!"

Having said this, he turned and leisurely left the hall, walking lightly toward his room.

Though the cause of his aunt’s death filled him with rage at this moment, the joy in being able to reunite with his aunt infused him with a fresh vitality!

He would visit his aunt tomorrow!

He must reestablish a close connection with her.

He had already thought it through.

Even though she now had a different appearance, he’d regard her as if she were still the same person, only with a new face after treatment for her disfigurement!

Once he accepted this, her identity as Miss Fu would not stand in the way of them regaining their previous closeness as aunt and nephew!

Ah, right, later on, he would introduce his mother to his aunt.

He wanted his aunt to engage with his family first! Even if she couldn’t move back to live, he wanted her to be able to come back whenever she wished!

Liang Chen, watching him depart so joyfully from the hall, furrowed his brows in concern.

He had never seen the lad so beside himself over a girl before. Could it really be that he’s enamored this time?

To be enamored isn’t a problem. The boy is unmarried, and the girl unbetrothed; neither of their families minds much about social status. The issue is that he’s lost his senses after their first meeting—will he be able to think rationally in the future?

Like tonight’s situation—if word got out, wouldn’t it become a huge joke?!

Absolutely not.

Come tomorrow, he’d have to let Xing Er seize the opportunity to visit the Ning Family. Isn’t Mrs. Ning one of the witnesses of the Baiyu Lane massacre? Visiting the Ning Family was only a matter of time.

This was a chance to deepen their understanding of their family.

In case the boy becomes deeply infatuated and insists on marrying her, then so be it!
